Gregory begins by exploring the ways in which disability has been historically marginalized and excluded from the church. He argues that this exclusion is based on a faulty understanding of disability as a sign of sin or weakness. Gregory shows that disability is not a curse but a gift, and that people with disabilities have much to offer the church.

Gregory then develops a theology of disability that is both compassionate and challenging. He argues that disability is not a tragedy, but an opportunity for growth and transformation. Gregory shows that people with disabilities can teach us about the importance of vulnerability, interdependence, and love. He also challenges the church to be more inclusive and welcoming of people with disabilities.

Gregory's book is a must-read for anyone interested in disability theology, ethics, or hospitality. It is a challenging and inspiring book that will change the way you think about disability and the church.
